MFDNightRider

I was banded 2-9-06 and had the same exact experience you described. I ate a chicken strip wrap too fast, and oh my god, I thought I was going to die. I was sitting in my car, cup on my face, slime - well, you know the rest. It did make me stop, slow down and chew completely since then. I did this and I still have not had my first fill. I get it this week! I have already lost 30 lb since 1 week preop. I have found that eating grilled blackened fish, like salmon (yes, I dip it in drawn butter) along with a fried green tomato is my favorite. I have no problem getting it down, but I only eat that 1 time a week (my reward). Good luck and remember why you have put yourself through this so far. You are so funny, thats the best laugh I have had in awhile. Take care!

Got banded 2-9-06. Dr. Madon, Memphis Tennessee. I'm 44 years old. Female firefighter/paramedic. Also had hiatal hernia repaired. I'm looking forward to losing the weight and have learned alot from reading the posts on this site. I usually ride the ambulance at night, thats why I am "night rider". Good luck to all.
